From the Dougherty family in Dalwood.
To our surprise... Alfie the elf had got up to some mischief whilst the family were out. Our girls squealed "he's on a date with Barbie!" Mum was pleased they had their seat belts on.

At the start of December mischievous elves come out to play in homes across the Hunter. In the lead-up to Christmas the Elf on the Shelf is a toy sent to children’s homes to report back to Santa on who has been naughty or nice.

While the cheeky little elves have a job to do, it seems they also like ­getting up to mischief along the way.
